So how about a variable like `ask-about-saving-user-scratch-buffers',
with `nil' meaning `never' (the current behavior), `ask' meaning ask the
above question and if so treat them like unsaved file-buffers, and any
other non-nil value meaning always treat them like unsaved file-buffers.

Then we could change the default value to `ask', and people like me
that never want to could set it to nil.  I presume many people might
generally like that behavior, in which case they could set it to `t' to
avoid the unnecessary question.
